Settlement for Bronx Man Injured in Collapsed Ceiling Landlord Negligence Case
After multiple complaints about a leak in his bathroom ceiling, a Bronx man was injured when the ceiling collapsed on him. The man retained Carol Schlitt, an experienced premises liability attorney, to recover compensation for the injuries he suffered. We held the landlord responsible for his negligence and delivered a settlement for our client.
$200,000 Settlement for Trip and Fall on a Defective Bronx Stairway
A woman and her family complained multiple times to their landlord about the torn and damaged carpeting on the stairway leading to her apartment. Carol L. Schlitt, an experienced premises liability attorney, explains her approach to this case. "We have won many stairway trip and fall cases. We needed to show that the torn and damaged carpet created a hazard and that the landlord was aware of the dangerous conditions." We investigated the case and negotiated with the landlord's insurance company, delivering a $200,000 settlement to compensate our client for her injuries, which included a broken leg.
$1 Million Settlement for Emotional Distress Due to Harassment from a Manhattan Landlord
Our clients, a tenant organizer and his girlfriend, lived in an Upper West Side Manhattan building. The landlord hired men to monitor and harass our clients. They suffered from stress disorders because of the constant surveillance and verbal altercations that ensued. We took the case to trial, and during closing arguments, the defendants agreed to a settlement for a total of $1 million, $500,000 for each plaintiff.
Settlement for Bronx Boy Injured While Unsupervised at School
A third grader attending a Bronx public school broke his arm when him and several other students were left unsupervised for over 20 minutes. We filed a Notice of Claim with the City of New York and argued that the school was negligent in allowing the young children to remain unsupervised for such a long period of time. We negotiated with the City to settle the case, bringing justice to this young man and his family.
Trial Verdict of $560,000 for Landlord Negligence in the Bronx
A Bronx landlord failed to fix a broken step in his apartment building despite complaints by tenants. A young girl tripped and fell on that step, fracturing her leg and foot. The landlord refused to make a responsible settlement offer, so we took this case to trial. The jury deliberated for one hour before returning a verdict holding the landlord responsible for the young woman's injury and awarding her $560,000.
$425,000 Settlement for Woman Hurt by Collapsing Kitchen Cabinet in Brooklyn
In the winter of 2004, a couple living near Prospect Park complained on multiple occasions to their landlord of a ceiling leak in their kitchen. The leak arose from a combination of snow build-up on the roof and faulty design and maintenance of the building structure. The landlord ignored the couple's complaints. During the next large snow storm, the leak returned and a kitchen cabinet collapsed on the woman fracturing her ankle so badly that it required surgery and left her with permanent damage. Attorney Carol Schlitt assembled extensive engineering and architectural evidence and a team of experts to prove the landlord's liability as well as medical records and experts to document the plaintiff's injuries. Due to the thoroughness of the investigation and the aggressive handling of the case, Ms. Schlitt negotiated a settlement. The landlord paid a settlement of $425,000.
A $350,000 Settlement in Bronx Stairway Trip and Fall Case
A Bronx woman walked down the stairs in her apartment building, she slipped, tripped and fell on some construction debris left on the stairs. The incident left the woman with a broken ankle that required surgery. The woman asked our firm to represent her in an effort to collect compensation for her injuries. We settled the case for $350,000. The settlement enabled the woman to relocate her family to Florida.
Landlord Negligence Case in Manhattan Apartment Lobby Settles
A Manhattan landlord covered a hole in a lobby floor with a carpet. When a tenant walked along the carpet, her foot got caught in the hole and she fell injuring her wrist. We investigated the incident to prove the landlord's negligence. The insurance company resisted settling the case because the woman used alternative medical providers. Through research and due diligence, we overcame their objections and settled this premises liability case.
$70,000 Settlement for Ankle Injury Resulting from Poor Maintenance by Bronx Landlord
A woman repeatedly complained about a leak in her bathroom, yet the landlord refused to fix the problem. While cleaning her shower, the woman stepped from the tub and her foot fell through a water damaged floor that resulted from the landlord's negligence. As a result of this accident, the woman tore a ligament in her ankle and required outpatient surgery. The defendants agreed to settle the case before going to trial for $70,000.
Brooklyn Rat Bite Leads to $20,000 Settlement
Not every case has a large dollar value, but every case is important. This case began on a Sunday morning in April 2005 when a Brooklyn man lay in bed relishing some extra rest. His peace did not last as a rat scrambled into his bed and bit him on the nose. The man immediately sought care at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center's Emergency Room where he received immediate medical treatment and referrals for follow up care. Attorney Schlitt worked with her client to document the complaints about vermin made to the building's landlord and the failure of the landlord to address those complaints. Faced with a mountain of documentation and the promise of expert witnesses, the landlord settled the case before trial for $20,000.
$40,000 Settlement for Utility Worker Injured Reading Meters in the Bronx
A Con Ed utility worker entered a property in the Bronx to read the electric meter. While walking down a set of outdoor steps, squirrels leaped out of a hole in the wall, knocking the man down. He fell to the bottom of the steps and tore his leg on the handrail, which had a jagged edge. The lacerations from the defective handrail caused a hematoma on his thigh that required debriding and the man missed a month of work. While Worker's Compensation shielded his employer from paying additional damages, Ms. Schlitt pursued a case against the property owner on two counts: failing to rid the location of the squirrel infestation (the squirrels had built a nest in a hole in the wall) and failing to maintain the handrail. Ms. Schlitt assembled a team that included a civil engineer with expertise on stairway design and building codes and an exterminator with expertise on animal removal. Seeing the witness list and understanding the strength of the Ms. Schlitt's case, the defense settled on the eve of trial paying $40,000.
Truck Driver Hurt Due to Uncovered Drain Settles Cases
This incident occurred in the loading dock area of a large retail operation in Westchester, New York. There was a trench in the parking lot approximately one foot wide and several feet long. A metal grate normally covered this trench to protect pedestrians from injuring themselves. Part of the metal grate had broken off and vanished leaving a hole. Our client stepped into the trench and injured his ankle and leg. We investigated the case and negotiated a rapid settlement for the man.
$135,000 for Trip and Fall over Uneven Bricks in Brooklyn
A Brooklyn woman tripped over some uneven bricks along the property line of two houses. She suffered significant injuries, including some broken bones in her face. The two property owners attempted to blame each other, with neither accepting responsibility for the incident. Attorney Carol L. Schlitt used expert testimony at trial to demonstrate that the brick work had created a trap, "an accident waiting to happen," is how Ms. Schlitt explained it to the jury. The defendants opted to settle for $135,000 before the jury ruled on the case.
Trip and Fall on Theater Steps in Manhattan Leads to Rapid Settlement
A Long Island woman travelled to Manhattan with her husband to see a Broadway show. She expected to come home with some pleasant memories; instead, she came home with a broken finger. There was good news all around on this case: the woman's finger healed quickly, fully and without complications and we were able to resolve the case and get the woman a settlement in four months.
Slip and Fall at a New York City Office Building
A woman working entered the woman's washroom on the floor near her office. She slipped and fell on a puddle formed by water leaking from the sink. An ambulance took her to Bellevue Hospital where she was diagnosed with a severe sprained ankle. She asked our firm to represent her. After conducting an investigation into the matter and building the case, we negotiated a settlement that exceeded the woman's expectations and made her very happy.
Settlement in a Brooklyn Slip and Fall Case
On a warm September morning, a Brooklyn mother went to work as a home health aide. At one point, she left her client's apartment to go to the pharmacy. She slipped on a gooey substance in the lobby of her client's building and injured her knee. She retained a Bronx law firm – Krieger and Wilansky – to represent her. When they could not settle the case, they retained our firm to try the case. On the eve of trial, we settled the case for an amount that pleased the client.
Slip and Fall on a Bronx Stairway Settles
A mother went to pick her daughter up from a charter school in the Bronx. While walking down an interior stairway, she slipped on a small puddle of water, fell down several steps and injured her ankle. A trip to the emergency room at Lincoln Hospital revealed she suffered a fractured ankle (lateral malleolus). The woman asked our firm to represent her in an effort to collect compensation for her injuries. After conducting an investigation of her case and negotiating with the insurance company for the charter school, we reached a settlement in just over four months from the date the woman retained us.
Settlement for Soft Tissue Injuries Resulting from Fall on Stairs Caused by Uneven Steps
A 32 year-old woman attending an opera audition was directed to take a particular stairwell. While walking down those stairs, she fell on the third step from the bottom, as the steps were uneven and in poor condition. She tumbled the remaining three steps and crashed onto the landing. She hurt her wrists, back and legs and suffered soft tissue injuries. By working with an expert in stairway design, Attorney Carol L. Schlitt proved that the stairs were not compliant with New York City building code and posed a hazard. As the case neared trial, the defense settled for $19,000.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of the study:
The purpose of the study is to describe intra- individual biological variation in reticulocyte parameters in established blood donors. The aim is also to compare iron status and reticulocyte parameters in a group of established donors who are offered iron supplement, to a comparable group who are not offered iron supplement, at the time of donation and one week after donation.
The design is a prospective longitudinal intervention-study, with randomised subjects to iron supplement/ not iron supplement groups.
Materials and methods:
Each subject will be tested with an extended test repertoire at the time of donation, day one, and the same test repertoire will be repeated one week after donation, day eight. Iron supplement is defined as100 mg of iron-sulphate (Ferro retard), taken once a day. Subjects are randomised into two groups; group a: "no iron supplement", n = 100, and group b: "iron supplement", n = 100. These groups will be stratified according to gender and age. Randomising will be done without knowledge of earlier blood tests. Subjects are asked to participate as they arrive for blood donation, by oral and written information. Questionnaire for established donors are used at day one. Day eight, follow-up of iron supplements will be controlled.
Dropouts and withdrawal:
Subjects who do not receive iron supplement are at risk of developing iron deficiency. Criteria for transfer to treatment group will be:
- Females: Hb < 12.5 g/dL
- Males: Hb < 13.5 g/dL These subjects may continue as participants in the study, but with a description of transfer to treatment group including date and treatment type (iron supplement type and dose, dose interval, treatment time, termination of treatment).
The study is approved by the regional ethics committee. All subjects must sign informed consent.
Data analysis:
Univariate and multivariate analysis are use for iron status variables, with separate analysis for each gender. Baseline data are taken at day one, at donation, and follow up testing at day eight. Dependent variables are haemoglobin, S-ferritin, total reticulocytes count, haemoglobin content in reticulocytes and percent hypochromated red cells. Independent variables are gender, age, ironsupplement/ no iron supplement.
Biochemical tests:
Test methods are specified, and instruments described. Biochemical test are performed at lab for clinical biochemistry, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 68 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |

A Scavenger Hunt / TOR / $1000 reward
I know you guys are fond of your TOR games and so am I. My co worker showed me Venatu.com one day at work because I talk about TOR's all day long.
Well turns up my mapping MOS in the USAF proved helpful. We ended up winning Game 2. The gamemarker made the rules.. You research the clues. Adventurer Riders have the best skills for this game. I want Inmates to win every game after this. I would like to say the only reason we didn;t win game one is because we didn;t know about the game. Game three opens at midnight. heres the map I created. based off the clues... http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...pseb9b3303.jpg then the game marker posted a photo of a football field near the tag. http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps72fe4b98.jpg It was over by then.. I found the football field. Contacted a local of bimmerforums (ADV didn't provide) and he went out. Cheers... Wade F... from team ramrod. :freaky |
Game Three opened early.
www.venatu.com |
Cool game. I've got game 3 narrowed down to about half the US. :D
Haha.. Should be more than that with the counties.
Well, yeah, but I'm not going to put the effort into listing out all the counties in 24 states until another clue or three is posted.
Haha .. It's easy with GIS.
So these states: Alabama Arizona California Connecticut Florida Illinois Iowa Kentucky Maine Massachusetts Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Hampshire New Mexico North Carolina Ohio Oregon South Carolina South Dakota Texas Vermont Washington Wisconsin And counties that don't start with any of these letters: TOM RAY MaGLIoZzi Or that start with either B, C, D, E, F, H, J, K, N, P, Q, S, U, V, W, X, or Y That's a big chunk of space. |
They add clues every day (22 hours). The guy has some fixation on the number 2... :huh
You can buy clues in advance of them being posted after day somethingorother. People buying clues fund the prize money. Seems like it could be a cool game. Best scenario would be to have teammates spread around the country. |
We have teammates... they are called inmates.. ADV should take this every time. |
Cool. So there's like 180,000+ on our team? That'll work out to a little over 1/2¢ each in price money. :D Regardless, I'm definitely watching.
I'm in it to win it!
Clue #2:
Bandits, Bikers, and, Baby's Oh my Twas exciting to watch that Artifact recovery on Facebook, even without the Artifact. So cool that there was a baby there. I am goin coon hunting in the morning. Draw a line from Karnack to the center of the oval in Sturgis and down to the center of the oval in Daytona. The artifact is not within 22 miles of that line, we will call this Paradise rd. X = the number of times "baby" is said in this video this video. The county does not begin with F or G. Sorry for delay...time zone got me.... |
Game is real. Just received bills
New clue talks about 84 cents. Any ideas?
No clue. I'm starting to hate his clues. I'm not a detective, nor do I play one on the Internet. Cuts way into ride time. :deal :D

A neighborhood in Enoree was evacuated after a standoff at a home.
Laurens County deputies said they were serving a warrant at the home on Community Center Road Thursday afternoon. After investigators got there deputies said the wanted man was holding a propane tank and blow torch threatening to blow himself up.
Deputies were able to take the man into custody without anyone being injured, but when State Law Enforcement Division agents searched the home they found a meth lab.
SLED's bomb squad was called to dispose of the propane tank and blow torch.
Meanwhile, those living within a half mile of the home were evacuated as a precaution.

As Expected
As others have stated, this simply does its job. I like having the flexibility of using it as a standard footprint - or in fast-fly. Rating it a little lower as it is fairly expensive for a footprint. It's the nice, lightweight material that tent is made of - but at only $5 less than my huge footprint for the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8, seems a little high.

Crustle and Dig
Just because Cilan's Crustle burrowed into the ground does not always mean that it used Dig. For an analogy: a ton of Flying types were seen flying in various media, but that's because they can fly naturally, not because they know the move Fly. Instead of adding it back and sparking an edit war, try bringing it up on the article's Talk Page instead. Thank you. Berrenta (talk) 17:39, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Tracey's Marill
Please don't add back the Fairy typing on Tracey's Marill. Because it hasn't appeared since the Fairy type has been revealed, it does not need to be changed. --It's Funktastic~!話してください 22:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Edit warring
Hello, I've noticed that you've been constantly re-adding content that has been removed several times by staff and other editors in general. This is considered edit warring, which is a blockable offense on Bulbapedia. Because of the amount of times you've already been edit warring today, continuing to edit war without discussion will lead to a temporary block from editing. Please keep this in mind during the future. Thank you. --Pokemaster97 22:49, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Jessie's Woobat
Please do not remove the notice about the Woobat trivia. It is there to warn users not to add it because it is unnotable. Also, please do not revert a user (especially an admin), if you disagree with the reversion bring it up to the talk page of the article. Thank you for reading.--ForceFire 02:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Fairy-type Pokemon on move pages
Please be more careful when you're adding the Fairy type to Pokemon on move pages. If the subsection (usually tutored or event moves) does not cover Generation VI, the Pokemon should not be listed as Fairy-type, since they weren't at any point that the subsection covers. It's the same reason that, above, Funktastic asked you not to change Tracey's Marill to Fairy-type. Thanks for your understanding. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Userspace limits
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the User:
namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's Userspace policy restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our mainspace more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --電禅Den Zen 18:02, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Hold on!
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User:
namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's many articles? Thank you. --電禅Den Zen 18:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
I did see it. I stopped as soon as I did.Chy-i (talk) 01:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Your userpage
I noticed you copied it from my userpage, so when did you copy it, and if you don't know, I'll contact an active admin. --Cinday123 (Talk) 03:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC) I did it a few weeks ago. I'm sorry if its a problem I will change it if immediately.Chy-i (talk) 14:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Talk Page Comments
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's talk page policy. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --It's Funktastic~!話してください 21:42, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the info, will not happen again.Chy-i (talk) 21:47, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Like the trivia said, they were implied to be male because of the pronouns they used that are commonly used by males. This does not mean that it is a straight up confirmation of their gender. I don't know if the staff of the past had any discussions about this, but seeing as how they've never added the gender and stuck it in the trivia, I'm guessing that they didn't count the implications as their genders being confirmed.--ForceFire 12:13, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Far-reaching changes
If you want to make a structural edit that will affect a wide range of pages, as you did to many Trainers' Pokemon in the anime recently, it's usually best to suggest it on a talk page first rather than just do it, so you can get feedback on whether it's a good idea. That way, you don't waste your time making a bunch of edits that get undone, and somebody else doesn't waste their time undoing all those edits. Thanks! Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Userspace pages
Make sure when you're making templates or any type of userspace pages, you start the page with User:Rahl/ , or otherwise you'll make the page in the mainspace where it doesn't belong. I've moved your page for you. --It's Funktastic~!話してください 20:02, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Thank you. I didn't know how to fix it.Chy-i (talk) 20:52, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Due to your numerous edits to your Gym Leader user page today, your userspace privileges have been revoked. You edited the page 16 times even though you're allowed to make only three userspace edits per day (provided that you've made four mainspace edits). And while the EB may give special permissions if the page in question is intended for mainspace, your page looks more like personal stuff just for fun.
You can request an admin to give you your rights back if you think you've redeemed yourself by being helpful on the mainspace.--電禅Den Zen 17:56, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Your Gym Leader userpage
I had to go through and remove some redlinks on that page, as they have appeared in the Wanted pages. There were also some redirects, but it's mostly redlinks. Be sure to check to see if you intend to create links to pages that do not exist. If the page in question will exist later on, that's fine, but if not, either remove them or replace the link with one to a relevant page that does exist. Also, try not to get the templates {{color}}
and {{color2}}
confused: the latter creates a link in that color, while the former just colors the text. Just letting you know. Berrenta (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Alright, thank you very much.Chy-i (talk) 01:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Anime ≠ Games. In the anime, Pokémon have been able to use more that 4 moves at once in one episode, like Ash's Kingler and Misty's Gyarados and Caserin. Also, In Cilan Takes Flight, Cilan's Pansage still knew Bite even when in earlier episodes, he used Bullet Seed, Solar Beam, Dig and Rock Tomb. --PKMNAdventurer (talk) 05:46, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
While that has happened, Fletchinder has only been seen using Flame Charge. Since it learned a new move it more than likely lost one of those four moves. As soon as it is seen using them then it can be added.Rahl (talk) 01:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
We only add in genders for Pokémon who are confirmed to have them, including the ones who are normally genderless. PattyMan 20:04, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Dub titles
Hello, please stop adding the dub titles for now. They are not 100% confirmed yet (unless you have a source that proves otherwise). Adyniz has said "consider these unconfirmed for now" on the forums. ☼ BlazingFist ☼ 16:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't know about that sorry. I will stop until its confirmed.Rahl (talk) 16:33, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
- It's ok. I've undone all of your dub title edits for now. It's best to wait until a staff member adds the titles or until the official Bulbagarden twitter account posts the titles. Unless of course you have a good source that confirms the titles, you can always let a staff member know. ☼ BlazingFist ☼ 16:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Anime appearances
Who told you to go adding a new section to the anime appearances and give some Pokémon their own section? What's the difference in an "other" appearance that isn't "major" or "minor" in nature? -- MAGNEDETH 16:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- You mean with Magnemite and Magneton?Rahl (talk) 17:11, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, all of them. I just happened to notice those two. -- MAGNEDETH 15:40, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Some of them just happened to have a lot that said major when they weren't all that important. I figured organizing it a little bit would be helpful.Rahl (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- That's fine, but if it isn't major, then it's minor. There's really no reason for a middle ground. Also, when having a discussion, indent your comments using a colon. -- MAGNEDETH 03:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- When you're told to stop doing something by a staff member, especially a Vice-Webmaster, you really should not ignore what you're being told. So, once again, if an appearance isn't major, then it's minor. There is no need for an "other" section, so stop adding them to species articles. Thank you. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 00:29, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Serena's Pancham
You probably didn't notice, but someone already has a page for Serena's Pancham in the works. In the future, you can use this function to see if someone already has the page in the works. ☼ BlazingFist ☼ 17:11, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Alright thank you. I will get rid of mine in that case.Rahl (talk) 01:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
XY044 Gym Battle
Don't forget Pikachu.--JasonL 15:33, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
I usually leave Pikachu alone. I don't care for all the screen time he gets and writing about Pikachu's "glorious" gym battles just aggravates me and causes me to oppinionate what I write. If you would like to add Pikachu's gym battle to his page you can find the video here-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGaf2eOqzGtlSeupxNROxug/videos. Rahl 17:47, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Just a heads up
On your user pages "User:Rahl/Gym Leader Pokemon Template", "User:Rahl/Gym Battles", and "User:Rahl/League Battles", please use [-[File:694MS.png|link=Clemont (anime)#Heliolisk]-] (without the dash) instead of {-{MSP|694|Clemont (anime)#Heliolisk}-} to make images that act as links to other pages. The later causes the links to go to pages such as "Ash's Pikachu (Pokémon)". Thanks. Adamws (talk) 22:53, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Edit Warring
Please do not edit war. If you disagree with an edit, discuss it with the user that reverted you. Do not revert them. Thank you.--ForceFire 04:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Clemont's Magneton
If you feel it deserves an article, create it in your userspace, not the mainspace. Just because it meets notability requirements (which I'm going to have to check to see if it is), does not mean you can just create it in the mainspace. Once it's been approved of by the admins, then it will be moved.--ForceFire 13:54, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Cilan's Stunfisk
I'm only going to say this once, the moves are only marked as recent if it used them in its most recent appearance. It only used Thunderbolt and Mud Bomb in its most recent appearance, so they should be the only ones marked as recent.--ForceFire 13:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
While that is true, it has not used Camouflage since its debut. That makes the rest of them most recent.Rahl 13:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- You didn't even read what I just said. The moves are only marked as recent if it used them in its most recent appearance. It only used Thunderbolt and Mud Bomb in its most recent appearance.--ForceFire 13:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
That is true but it is pretty obvious that it still has Scald and Sludge Bomb. Rahl 14:10, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

First-day play washed out at PGA Tour opener
Hyundai Tournament of Champions to redo opening round on Saturday
The PGA Tour season now starts on Saturday.
Wind squalls that howled down the mountains above Maui were so severe Friday that the opening round of the Tournament of Champions was scrapped. Rickie Fowler and Jason Dufner, the first to tee off on the Plantation Course, only played eight holes.
Six players in the 30-man field had not even teed off.
The decision to wipe out the round was great news for Scott Stallings, who already was 7-over par through four holes. As for U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson?
"It stinks for me," he said.
Simpson was 3 under when he stepped to the eighth tee, one of only two players under par. The other was Jonas Blixt, who was 1 under.
Play was suspended for seven minutes beginning at 12:27 p.m. Friday due to strong winds. Another delay came at 12:46 p.m.
The wind gusts that caused the initial suspension were at 41 mph. The maximum gust on Friday was 45 mph. Total rainfall at The Plantation Course up to 3 p.m. on Friday was 0.25".
Before Friday, the last time the PGA Tour declared "play null and void" and restarted a round came at The Players Championship in 2005 at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The last time a round was suspended on the PGA Tour due to wind came at the 2012 AT&T National. The third round of the 2012 Humana Challenge was also delayed due to wind.
The plan was to play 36 holes Saturday, brutal news for the caddies who had to lug bags on this elevated golf course. But the forecast was for more wind.
The first round will begin at 7:30 a.m. off split tees.

Nowadays, at age 79, Walker's physical feats are but a distant memory, but the cheers from those adoring fans who idolize the man known as Mr. Wrestling #2 remain golden. While Walker admits his memory might be fading, the rush he got from his days in the wrestling business will be with him until the day he dies. "You just don't forget something like that," he says. "It was a wonderful time. I wouldn't trade it for anything." Walker hopes to relive some of those magical memories as a featured guest at this summer's Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend August 1-4 at the Hilton University Place Hotel in Charlotte. That weekend, he says, can't get here soon enough. "It's fantastic.

Application of plant expression systems in the production of recombinant proteins has several advantages, such as low maintenance cost, absence of human pathogens, and possession of complex post-translational glycosylation capabilities. Plants have been successfully used to produce recombinant cytokines, vaccines, antibodies, and other proteins, and rice (
Production of recombinant protein using plant expression system first dates back to the 1980s when plants' genetic transformability has been confirmed [
Foreign genes of interest may be incorporated into plant systems through transient transformation such as agroinfiltration, virus infection, and magnifection [
Human serum albumin (HSA) is an unglycosylated, monomeric protein that plays important roles in osmotic regulation and pH buffering as well as acts as a carrier protein for fatty acids, thyroid hormones, and numerous drugs [
One of the first publications involving producing HSA using rice suspension cell system using an inducible promoter
In addition to the advantages of protein production using plant expression systems described above, plant-based pharmaceuticals can also be applied through direct oral administration using specific parts of the plant, eliminating the needs for purification [
Antibodies are serum proteins that bind to target molecules with high specificity and are widely used for prevention, detection, and treatment of diseases. Recombinant antibodies are shown to provide immunization against pathogens and are potential answers to disease, especially with increasing microbial resistance towards antibiotics as well as new pathogens being discovered [
Cytokines are signaling proteins in intercellular communication and are involved in diverse regulation processes, such as embryogenesis, immune and hematopoietic systems [
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a cytokine used to promote white blood cell proliferation [
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleotropic cytokine that plays numerous roles in immunoregulation and inflammation [
INF-γ is a class II interferon responsible for regulating immune response against bacteria and tumor [
Human α1-antitrypsin (hAAT), a serine trypsin inhibitor, is the most abundant protease inhibitor in human plasma [
Human growth hormone (hGH) is responsible for reproduction, growth, and regeneration of certain cells such as muscle and bone cells [

Despite its many advantages, production of recombinant proteins using rice expression systems is still limited by yield, ranging from 12 μg/L to 247 mg/L (
Physical and chemical approaches have been used to improve protein yield. Currently, rice suspension cells are extensively utilized due to their fast cell doubling time (as fast as 1 day) [
Different promoters have been chosen based on the properties of the protein produced. In terms of constitutive promoters, the

Metabolite-regulated promoters are triggered in the presence or absence of certain metabolic products.
Production of GUS using the heat-induced
The preferred codons vary significantly between different plants, so when the desired foreign gene contains rare codons the host plant, the codon becomes a limiting factor in protein translation [
Modification within the host's genes is also made in order to increase protein productivity through either reduction of protease expression or alleviation of internal resource competition and feedback regulation. The first strategy used involves knocking down genes expressing endogenous secreted protease such as cysteine proteinase [
One of the biggest challenges for plant expression system remains the differences that exist between mammalian glycosylation and plant glycosylation. In addition to affecting the biological activity of glycoproteins, there are two additional concerns involved with difference in glycosylation. First, human body might recognize plant-specific glycosylation and trigger allergic reactions [
There are several approaches in modifying the post translational glycosylation system and increasing the similarity between recombinant protein produced in plants and their native forms. One way is by knocking down the expression levels of enzymes, α-1,3-fucosyltransferase and β-1,2-xylosyltransferase, responsible for adding plant specific glycans, fucose and xylose respectively. Current study indicates that knockdown of α-1,3-fucosyltransferase and β-1,2-xylosyltransferase in rice does not have negative effects on the functions of the transgenic suspension cell culture in areas such as cell division, proliferation, and ability to secret proteins out of the cell, while using sucrose as the carbon source [
Due the importance of high-mannose glycosylation taking place in the ER, another method involves adding the sequence KDEL (Lysine-Aspartic acid-Glutamic acid-Leucine) to the sequence of the recombinant. KDEL is an amino acid sequence capable of performing ER-retention, which prevents the protein from leaving the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the Golgi apparatus. Addition of KDEL tag to recombinant protein is rather significant because both plant-specific xylosyltransferase and fucosyltransferase are located inside the Golgi apparatus, and plant-exclusive glycosylation of the recombinant protein would be impossible to perform if the protein is retained inside the ER. Using this method, recombinant human interleukin 10 has been successfully produced from transgenic rice seeds, and the proteins were shown to be unglycosylated and identical to its natural human counterpart, confirming that the addition of the KDEL sequence does not affect the biological activity of the amino acid [
While a liquid suspension cell culture significantly improves cell growth rate and allows for recombinant protein secretion through the application of signal peptides, there are still potential concerns involved with the genome integrity of the transgenic plants. The activity level of retrotransposon inside undifferentiated rice suspension cultures is relatively high compared to differentiated cells, partially due to the high speed of replication. Retrotransposons are Class I transposable elements (TE) that are capable of performing reverse transcription using self-encoded reverse transcriptase, and the RNA fragments created will be integrated back into the genome [
To preserve genome integrity and limit activity of retrotranspon, it may be advisable to keep unused cells under cryopreservation [
The methods proposed above are used in rice or other plant expression systems to improve average yield per cell. In order to further increase recombinant protein production, plant suspension cell cultures should be upscaled into bioreactors. Large-scale bioreactor producing plant secondary metabolite has already been well established [
Fed-batch reactors involve the addition of nutrient and cells at the start of cultivation or at certain points during the reaction process. The main advantage of the system is its relatively easy implementation. However, the system suffers major drawbacks such as depletion of major nutrients and accumulation of potentially inhibitory metabolites. Furthermore, as the concentration of product increases inside the medium, feedback regulation may take place to limit further production of the recombinant protein. Cell growth also slows down at higher cell density. Cleanup of the system between usages is also very laborious and time consuming. Regardless, batch-fed bioreactors have been successfully utilized to produce hCTLA4Ig and the maximum yield obtained was 76.5 mg/L. A sugar-starvation driven
Current application of rice bioreactor producing recombinant protein with the highest yield utilized a membrane bioreactor [
In addition to protein yield decrease due to depleting nutrients and accumulating products that may contribute to feedback regulation, long-term bioreactors also have several other challenges, including the time, labor, and cost involved in cleaning the bioreactor containers. Furthermore, loss due to contamination is much more significant when small numbers of large volume bioreactors are used compared to larger numbers of smaller bioreactors. Thus, disposable, smaller volume, bioreactors using plastic containers have become increasingly more popular in animal suspension cells [
Purification cost of plant-derived pharmaceuticals is estimated to account for 80% of total cost [
Development of plant-based recombinant protein expression system has greatly improved protein yield in plants. The incorporation of both transient and stable transformation techniques has allowed for either fast recombinant protein expression or the establishment of transgenic cell cultures [

That's the missing bit of information I needed. The MUMPS package in Debian apparently does not include those headers.

nick, question on johnson from GA
nick, johnson, the junior defense end that had a far better season than moses, declared for the draft. Is he a potential first round pick, good enough to consider at 13?

Re: nick, question on johnson from GA
Right now I have Johnson pegged as an early to mid second rounder, but he definitely out played his teammate Moses this year and with a strong workout he could solidify a spot in the late first round. He definitely went out with a bang, though. Looked like he was all over the field against VA Tech the other night.

Re: nick, question on johnson from GA
Think Manny Lawson and Mario Williams last year. Both out of NC State. Lawson's stock downright soared after a great combine, and was selected at No. 22 by the *****'s. He had 2.5 sacks and a pick in situational playing time.
I'm not sure of Johnson's physical capabilities in comparison to Lawson, but food for thought nonetheless.

That would be Charles Johnson

Re: nick, question on johnson from GA
